But the bug is not asking you to reinstate loading from memory. The bug is
asking you to notice that the result can be constructed via cmpeq+psrlw, which
is even better than a broadcast (cmpeq with dst same as src is usually a
dependency-breaking instruction that does not occupy an execution port).
